Title: Virtual frog Dissection Lab
Content Learning Objective: Through a virtual lab, students will be able to describe what organs are in a frog and what systems they are a part of.
Language Learning Objective: Students will be able to describe in full sentences the various organs in a frog and which systems they are a part of.
Engage: (5 min) Using a warm-up question, the teacher will have a short discussion about what organs they have learned about so far and what systems they are a part of. During the discussion focus on the characteristics of each system and why it is different than the other systems.
Explore: (20-30 min) Simulate the process of dissection virtually to illustrate the principles of form and function in living things. Students will cut, probe, and pin frog anatomical structures using virtual tools. Use frogouts software if available.
Explain:(20 min) Summarize process exhibited through exploration by comparing and contrasting the structural, functional, and behavioral adaptations of the frog’s external and internal anatomy. Try to open up the floor for argumentation about the different functions of the organs and how they differ from human anatomy.
Evaluate: (homework) Students will have a complete worksheet as their exit slip for the class that day.
Extend: Students will be provided with a list of different animal and plant dissections. In groups or pairs for homework they have to go through a dissection guide or tutorial at home. They have to match the systems that the new organism has to the systems discussed in class.
Materials: Computers
